0:05:55 > 0:05:58Er...I'm not quite sure.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Well, you need to sort this pencil out first.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04THREE: Oh, agents ringing in!
0:06:07 > 0:06:12That pencil's too long. You've got to make it the opposite.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14You've got to make it shorter.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Short is the opposite of long.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22The pencil's getting even longer. I'm going to need some help here.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Oh, will I?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Another call coming in.

0:12:13 > 0:12:14- FOUR:- That's me!
0:12:14 > 0:12:17It was all that Problem Blob's fault.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Always making trouble that Blob is.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24And we all had lots of work to do.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Brain Gain sorted them out!
0:12:33 > 0:12:38- And sorted out the Problem Blob. - ALL: Yeah!- Did the trick.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- Thanks to everyone who helped. - I helped a bit too much.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05Yeah, look. He's got a twin brother with a twin mop.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09See? Same length. Everything back to normal.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Those twins were just the same height.- Just like you and me.
